Voilà ce que Poutine a réussi à faire de Sarkozy à la suite d'un entretien bilatéral au G8 : l'air idiot de Sarkozy sous l'emprise de l'alcool.

Dommage que Poutine ne lui ait pas offert une vodka-polonium.

Honte et disgrace !!!! C'est Sarkozy (ou Sárközy -- non, je n'utilise pas l'ortographie hongroise...) .

Pardonne-moi, Greg...mon niveau de francais n'est pas tres* bon, mais ta vidéo est vraiment ridicule -- en tant que mon francais !!!

* Malhereusement, je ne trouve pas l'accent grave sur la claviature hongroise.

Mdr ... seulement Sarkozy.

J'essaye à imaginer d'autres politicians dans une situation comparable — George W. Bush, oui ; Angela Merkel, peut-être ... mais Gordon Brown dans un état d'ivresse ? Non, il semble trop mat pour ça.

He should've eaten more bread! That would've soaked up that date-rape vodka cocktail that Putin probably gave him...

Did he think that was water on the dining table?? Silly Nicky...

Yawn. I do not know how low and despicable someone can get, but punching below the belt is apparently a favourite tactic of someone here. No manly and honourable Queensberry rules, eh?

To those who are only good at lifting an accusatory finger at President Sarkozy, you would be shocked to learn that the prevailing mood in France is largely for the man. In fact, the French seems very happy with their choice. Polls say that Mr Sarkozy is the most popular newly elected President since General Charles de Gaulle. It is highly likely that Sarkozy's UMP would now get a crushing majority in parliament. Voters are handing the centre-right government an exceptionally strong mandate to carry out the reforms he promised to undertake.

Greg, you are actually a very agreeable person. But you are a sad tragic act when it comes to your personal bias. In no way can you be completely sure that Mr Sarkozy was drunk. He actually recovered very well towards the end of his short speech in which he excused himself for being late. Could he actually have been running frentically to the press room? When I am out of breath, I behave like that as well.

Unless I am mistaken, you also once mentioned about Mr Sarkozy roughing up his wife in the run up to the presidential elections. Apparently, this sizzling bit of news has not seen the light ever since.

Also, I'd like to add that the particular broadcasting authority which made such a contemptible insinuation, has since apologised to the Elysee for unfounded allegations.

Unless you are damn sure that he is drunk -and you are willing to stake your mother's life on it-, don't go around and believe fabricated news.

You are older than I am. But apparently not as sensible.

Although I'm not fond of Sarkozy, I feel sorry for him because of this incident. Allegedly, he doesn't usually drink, so his organism doesn't tolerate alcohol that much. He drinks a bit without eating enough and gets totally bladdered.

Having said that, I still think that he, as a president, is responsible for his public behaviour, and it was foolish to drink before his speech without consideration.

P.S.: He was clearly drunk. Full stop.

Greg:

Yes, Greg. We all have our own biases, but I would never stoop so low as to personally attack anyone whom I do not know.

And therein lies the difference between you and me.

Greg:

I am really glad that both of us have an understanding that what is said on the pitch remains on the pitch. Further sledging exercises would not make me feel guilty then! Since we are both men of strong passions, it is inevitable that any debate escalates into a mighty row from time to time, but as long as the lid is firmly kept on the cauldron, we should all be safe from an explosion.

With regards to the results that have trickled in, I am disappointed that the anticipated 'blue wave' has failed to surface. Alain Juppe has fallen. The centre-right UMP continue to have a majority, but I personally feel that it is a muted victory.

What interests me though is the separation of that golden Socialist couple. That explains the absence of a hearty support for Segolene Royal from her former 'husband'. I was thinking that if Nicolas Sarkozy had been caught with his trousers down instead of Francois Holland, you would have made a lot of political capital out of it. As it is, it is the roly poly man from the left has been exposed as a philanderer.

The make up of the National Assembly would probably please you. But the gains made by the Socialist Party are still nothing to write home about. The immutable fact remains that the UMP still holds a majority and are able to single-handedly push through bills in parliament.

PS: You are right in suspecting that I am heavily influenced in my outlook by The Economist. However, I am a thinking human being who does not mindlessly accept facts that are presented to me. I also make it a habit to skim through the Financial Times on a daily basis and the FT has an editorial line that is slightly tilted towards the left. However, both the newspapers I subscribe to have firm and unequivocal ideas on what constitutes good business practices and they are rooted in neo-classical liberalism.

What I like about France is her stout defence of her culture and language. I agree that the market is incapable of placing the correct value on intangible things such as wine, cheese or architectural monuments. One of the main reasons why I initially chose to learn French many moons ago was the fact that the French still speak mostly French - sort of. I really like the fact that you sometimes choose to reply monolinggually in French to a discussion. I am of the opinion that every educated man should have a good command of both English and French. This has been so in the past and it should continue to be so in future.

So we actually have plenty in common if we look beyond the insular domain of geopolitics.
